All my previously released vehicles plus more have been rolled into a pack and I've also improved them while I'm at it.

One of the key improvements is the fact that the joystick will steer the vehicles and their wheels will turn to steer them realistically. Thanks to Raider for this.

I'll post some screens soon, currently the vehicles include, remember these have all been improved upon since their last release:

* Citroen 7CV (based off Pachys' ground object)

* M3 Halftrack

* M16 Halftrack AAA (added by popular demand)

* GMC Supply

* Matador 40mm

* Willys' Jeep (model by Razer)

The pack is 90% done, however I have a Matilda tank in the works (about 30% done) that will allow you to actually sit inside it and be the driver, gunner or commander.

Should I release this pack now as it is almost ready, or wait a while and release it with the Matilda included?

Cheers

I'm a big fan of your work. I was wondering if these are all compatible with the Patch which is being developed? And would these units be part of an online standard down the road?

Keep up the great work.

Thanks Private Roger

Yes, I've tested these vehicles with both the official 1.5 and the latest 1.5.2.6 patch and they check out pretty good. The prop pitch adjustment kinda' acts like shifting gears

As for the online standard, I don't know, Spin asked me if I'd like these added to the next PP, I think that'd be cool, although they're not really planes, but online play is probably where they'd be the most useful for ground/air wars.

Cheers

Great stuff Harman, I'm looking forward to the pack. Just an idea for your consideration... check out Archy's Tiger II tank. When you're working on the Matilda you might want to consider making only two positions, Gunner and Driver/Commander. Less F7ning for the same amount of control. Archy rigged up a really cool hatch flip/commander popup dof too, that might be worth taking a look at.

If I could request one thing though, please do a detailed texture map of the commander, and if possible give the guy a hat or helmet as appropriate. Imo it really adds to the quality just like the helmet on the Jeep guys.

Thanks Werner,

Currently, my commander has a raise/lower dof just like Archys' Tiger

I'll definately make sure the crew get some good textures along with the vehicle.

Ok, I'm gonna add the Matilda now, hope I won't be too long...

Thanks.

I vote to wait for the Matilda. BTW, shouldn't it also include the other tanks and such?

The Matilda is close to being completed. I'll need to get in contact with Archy to see whether I can improve his vehicles or at least add them into the pack...
